MISS DAVIS WITH ONE OF HER PATIENTS IN FRONT OF THE AMERICAN
: HOSPITAL IN PARIS ‘



Miss Davis Tells Experiences in War Hospital
Sees Zeppelin Raid in London.

Miss Davis spent the summer as one
of the nurses in the American Ambu-
lance Hospital of Paris, where she saw
the presentation of the “Médaille Mili-
taire”’ to some of her patients. On her
way home she was in London at the
time of a Zeppelin raid. In telling of
her experiences Miss Davis says:

“When the French Government pre-
sented the ‘Lyceé Pasteur’ to the Amer-
ican people it was nothing but a shell,
but in a miraculously short time it was
converted into the military hospital an-
nex of the American: Hospital of Paris,
with Dr. Dubouchet as its surgeon-in-
chief, and the noted Dr. Blake as one of
its staff. The Harvard Unit, a corps of
doctors from the Harvard Medical
School, was in charge of the third floor
when I arrived. As one of the ‘services’
their duty was to receive the newly
arrived wounded, blessés,’ every
fourth day. Sometimes one ‘service’ ad-
mits from thirty to fifty “blessés’ in one
night and, during the following day, I
have seen Dr. Greenough, chief of the
Harvard Unit, perform sixteen to eigh-
teen operations. The wounds are dread-
ful; I have never seen anything like
them in hospital work. There are many
bad compound fractures, with four or
five inches of the bone shattered to
pieces. The face and head injuries are
the worst, but of course the very worst
never reach Paris. The dental depart-
ment considered very important.
Many men have their lower jaw almost
blown off, and this is pieced together
again by the surgeon and dentist. In
the operating room the surgeon takes a
piece of the rib-bone and wires it to the
broken fragments of the jaw to make a
chin. From that the dentist has some-
thing to work upon. The tetanus cases
have almost all been checked, since the
When
it has not been given at the front, it is
injected immediately upon the arrival of
a patient at the hospital. Many of the
wounds are gas bacilli infections, but
not many result in serious cases.

“One nurse with one auxiliary is in
charge of three or four small wards at
with ten beds in each. In the

trained, but help in the wards or supply
rooms. Most of them are residents of
Paris or of other parts of France. Some,
however, come from the United States
and England. These girls are of great

assistance,. though most of them have
/never seen an operation in their lives or
witnessed such suffering I have a. great

deal to be thankful for in having had
Miss Helen Lancashire of Boston, as my
auxiliary. The nurses come from all
parts of the world, England, Canada,
Australia, Egypt, Russia, Switzerland,
Greece, Sweden, and the United States.

“The lights of the hospital are turned
off every night, promptly at nine; only
candles are used afterwards. The hos-
pital is such an immense building that
when it is lighted at night, it is said to
be a landmark for Zeppelins, so the
police watch the windows closely and
report any light showing. Every window
has a dark blue shade which must be
drawn carefully after dark.

“Moussa, a savage from the wilds of
South Africa, was the pet of the hospital.
His father was supposed to have eaten
his little brother, and Moussa had never
siept in a bed until he came to the hos-
pital. When no one was looking he
would rip all his dressings off, tear his
pittows~ to pieces, and-put-the—exeelsior
on his wounds. He would kick, bite and
scratch when the nurses remonstrated
with him. But Moussa now is quite a
gentleman; he is beginning to read and
write and has spoken broken English for
some months.

“The presentation of the ‘Médaille Mili-
taire’ took place at the hospital several
imes while I was there. One of the
‘blessés’ who received the Médaille had
been buried in a trench, covered by deb-
ris and clay. His dog saved him by
scratching away the dirt and running
for help. The dog, Fend l’air, was given
a medal by one of the ladies.

Miss Davis Tells of Zeppelin Raid.

“After leaving Paris, I spent several
days in London, and was present there at
the time,of the first Zeppelin raid. Com-
ing out of the Lyric Theater one night my
ears were greeted by guns booming, whis-
tles blowing, women screeching. On look-
ing up into the sky, brilliantly lighted by
searchlights, I saw a huge Zeppelin which
looked like an immense silver cigar. All
around the Zeppelin, shells were explod-
ing from the cannon on the tops of the
arches; the people cheered every time
one burst near the German ship. English

airships soon gathéred about and forced®

the Zeppelin to ascend until it was lost
in the clouds. The lights of the streets

had remained on during the excitement

and in ten minutes the unemotional Eng-
lish crowd was as calm as if nothing
had happened

Miss Davis hopes to return to the war
zone next summer, either to a hospital,

.ign the northern part of France, or on a
rhospital. ship to the Dardenelles

VARSITY DEFEATS LANSDOWNE



Varsity defeated Lansdowne last Sat-
urday. by the close score of 2 to 1. All
the scoring was done in the first half.
Early in the game Lansdowne incurred
one of their many penalty corners and V.
Litchfield drove the ball between the
waiting teams. The Varsity forwards
closed in and F.. Kellogg shot the first
goal for Bryn Mawr. Lansdowne scored
next through a clean shot by J. Katzen-
stein, Bryn Mawr, '06. Laterin the game,
the Bryn Mawr goal was threatened and
the ball was often brought within a few
inches of the line, but the remarkable de-
fense of A. Werner, the goalkeeper, pre-
vented further scoring. Near the end of
the half.a lively struggle before the Lans-
downe goal resulted in the “just one
more” for Varsity. F. Bradley shot the
goal and the half ended with the score:
Bryn Mawr, 2; Lansdowne, 1.

During this half Varsity played on the
offensive and showed careful teamwork.
The halfbacks, M. Branson and V. Litch-
field, made many clean hits and the de-

fense was excellent, The forward line
played intelligently, but lacked speed.
.M. Allen led hockey songs and cheers.

The support from the side lines was un-
usually good throughout the game.

The second half opened well. F. Brad-
ley led off with a long run at wing, but
failed to pass soon enough and lost the
ball to Lansdowne at the 25-yard line.
After that, Lansdowne assumed the of-
fensive and Varsity worked only to hold
the lead. Their chances at goals were all
spoiled by’the slowness of the forward
The fullbacks were also less steady
than usual. M. Branson and V. Litchfield,
however, continued to play hard, consist-
ent hockey and A. Werner's defense was
the feature of the half.

The teams were:

people having the authority of President.
The club will hold its regular meetings as
usual every Sunday night from 9 until 10
o'clock to discuss vital economic and so-
cial problems of the day.

Though the Varsity hockey team won
their first game last Saturday, the weak-
ening in the second half would probably
not have occurred had all the team kept
perfect training. At the beginning of
each season the Varsity committee fixes
what should be firm rules for the team,
which many of the team promptly break.
There can be no definite punishment for
the breaking of these rules, for though
the captain may say that the offender
shall not play that week, either she is a
valuable person or so many have broken
training that there is no more material.
The consequence of this is that the pun-

ishment comes on the heads of everyone |

for the game is lost or the playing is
doubly hard for those who have trained.
What is the use of training rules in such
a case? Is it not better to have no rules
at all than to have ones for which there
is little respect?

Annual Christian Association Meeting

Christian Association activities during
the summer in the Daily Vacation Bible
School, at Bates House, and at Eagles

ing of the Christian Association held on
October 11th. The plans for mission
study were outlined as far as they are
determined and “Junk” committee was
explained.

Eva Bryne, '16, told of the work of the
daily Vacation Bible School which was
under the direction of Cleora Sutch, '15,
Elsie Stelzer, '15, and Mildred Jacobs, ’15.
She said that the average attendance of
fifteen boys was smaller than in past

were many attractions for them. After

Dr. Johnson of Philadelphia, who has
formerly led classes at Bryn Mawr, will
lead three on the fundamentals of Chris-

BISHOP LLOYD SPEAKS ON THE
MISSION OF THE YOUNGER
GENERATION



Bishop A. S. Lloyd spoke in Chapel
Sunday evening. After the service, the
first of the newly instituted informal dis-
cussions was held. Between thirty and
|forty students remained to take part in
ithe discussion of religious questions
|which followed the service.

Bishop Lloyd's sermon had a special
}appeal for his hearers because he spoke
|of the part. they personally were to play

mye Paul an example, saying: ‘Paul
did more good to men than any other
man, because he realized that the meas-
/ure of man’s usefulness is his purity.”
He went on to say that Paul's success
was due to the fact that he based his
teachings on the words of Christ, and
kept Christ always in his heart. Bishop
Lloyd concluded by saying that, in order
‘to build a new world, the younger gen-
eration must imitate Paul. What the
people of Europe are really fighting for,
he said, is democracy. The younger gen-
eration must always keep the idea of
democracy at heart, for democracy is
one of the fundamental principles of
Christianity.

ATHLETIC COMMENCEMENT OPEN.
ING OF NEW HOCKEY FIELD.



Students Receive Degrees in Sports



The formal opening of the new Athletic
Field took place on Monday afternoon.
The ceremony was earried on as an ath-
letic commencement. All the students
who had ever taken part in athletics were
graduated, with the different sports as
groups. They received higher degrees,
as those of fellow or Ph.D., in proportion
to the work they had done in the different
kinds of athletics.

The Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomares,
led by marshals and carrying tennis rack-
ets, hockey sticks and _ basket-balls,
marched down to the Athletic Field,
where President Thomas and the mem-
bers of the Athletic Board represented
the faculty at Commencement. The
Freshmen were the audience.

Field Entirely Paid for, Says Miss
Branson

Mary Branson, as President of the
“Athletic faculty’, made the opening
speech. She began by saying that the
field was entirely completed and paid for,
with enough money left over to pay for
the third tennis court. She spoke of the
faithful work and great personal effort
and sacrifices which had been necessary,
and thanked the donors, collectors, and
all those who had in any way worked
for the Field.

Awarding of Athletic Degrees

Miss Applebee, as Secretary of the
“Athletic faculty”, made a short speech,
presenting the candidates the degree of
Bachelor of Athletics. In awarding the
degrees,-Miss- Branson. said:

“By the authority of the Athletic
ciation vested in the board and by them
given to me, I confer upon you the degree

ASsso-

all the fields, courts, and pools thereunto
appertaining.”

As A.B.’s were given to each group,
those belonging to that group stood up
when called, waving hockey sticks for
the hockey group, tennis rackets for the
tennis group, and swimming caps for the
water polo group. The captains and man-
agers of second and third teams were
scholars, while-the captains and—man-
agers of first teams were fellows and took
their seats on the platform with the fac-
ulty. Finally Ph.D.’s were presented to

the six students who had won yellow ties

last year.

When all the degrees had been con-
ferred, Miss Branson introduced the
speaker of the day, President Thomas.

President Thomas Congratulates the
Board

In her speech Miss Thomas expressed
her pleasure at the completion of the field
and congratulated the Athletic Board and
the students on having accomplished so
much in a whirlwind campaign of three
weeks. She spoke of the usefulness of
the field and the improvement made in
the Campus by the new approach .to the
athletic fields. She was glad, she said,
that the necessity was created for an ad-
dition to the Campus in the form of an
athletic house, for which she had seen

a charming model in Arizona, in the |
Grand Canyon.
“Bryn Mawr”, said Miss Thomas, ‘has

always stood for a high order of sports.
We are the only woman's college that re-
quires regular exercise throughout the
four years. It means sound minds and
sound bodies.” She spoke of the great

increase in health of College students in |

the last thirty years, which was largely
due to athletics, and pointed out the im-
provement of modern college women over
those of thirty years ago who “fell in a
heap and fainted” when anything went
wrong. She closed by saying that the
Athletic Field was a gift which would
never grow useless and old fashioned,

and which she was sure would be well |

used,

CANDY SALE RAISES OVER FIFTY
DOLLARS

At the candy sale held in the book |
shop last Thursday, $59.20 were cleared.
A part of this money will be given to
furnish a double fife and drum corps for
the College Equal Suffrage League in the
torchlight parade which is to be held



in Philadelphia on October 22nd. The)
rest of the money raised is to be given |
to the League and will be put in the



fund for helping the Suffrage cause.

Freshman year was represented by the |

eap-and gown chorus from ‘The Totem’s |
Taboo,” who sang ‘Hold the Door.”
Parade Night opened Sophomore year,

and a maddened Self-Government Presi- |
dent was seen vainly trying to hold the |

Sophomores and Juniors in leash. The

second scene in Sophomore year was 4a |

burlesque of Lantern Night. L. Dilling-
ham and C. Dowd brought lanterns to F.
Kellogg, a poor, trembling Freshman, |
who marched out singing “Over the Way
to the Sacred Shrine”, pitched at high C.
For Junior year, D. Packard, in pierrette |
costume, introduced a parade of Banner |
Show characters. The last scene -was
Senior year, in which 1916, seated on the |
steps, apologized for the simplicity of |
their entertainment by saying that their
“ankles wore the ball and chain” of Orals.

In general, the songs were less original,
and less amusing than 1916 has led the
College to expect by their Oral songs.
The Lantern Scene, however, was one of
the cleverest skits that has been given at
College in a long while,

Freshmen Sing Class Song

As usual, at Senior reception, the
Freshmen sang their Class song for ‘the
first time.
Oh, fairest Bryn Mawr, thy Class '19
Ever will praise thy name,

For in our hearts there burns love
supreme,

Kindled by thy great flame!

May we, Bryn Mawr, worthy in thy
sight,

Keep fresh and stainless the yellow and
white.

Grant this, we pray,

To us alway.

Oh, Alma Mater, as the years pass,
Watch o’er and cherish '19, thy class;
And though in time we may roam afar,
Guide us and bless us, Oh, Bryn Mawr!

hospitals which acknowledge all gifts. In
